Only One Coal Firm Guts Price Not Until April First
Coal dealers in the city voted not to lower prices before April 1 despite the Karu Terminal Co announcing a reduction of about ten cents per ton. Vincent Brothers kept at 14.50 per ton and predicted no immediate cuts. A meeting at Stratfield Hall elected a chairman and discussed possible further reductions, with some dealers hoping for a drop to around 10 or 11 dollars per ton retail. The Kar Terminal Co said the move was independent of any alliance and aimed to fair profits at 9 to 10 dollars per ton, noting wartime and wear and tear factors.
